Chapter 1 Product Overview
Selectable Functions for Processing Cut Sheet
The TM-S2000MJ has the following functions that are selectable with the driver in accordance
with how you wantto use the product with cut sheet paper. Settings with an application are also
available for the pocket ejection and processing continuance inthe confirmation mode.
•Pocket ejection (on
Ejects the document to the Main pocket
Ejects the document to the Sub pocket
Waterfall*
•Processing continuance
Continues processing
Ejects the document and stops processing
Stops processing without ejecting the document
* When the ejection pocketis near-full, the documents are automatically ejected to the other pocket.
Processing Mode:
High-speed
mode
Confirmation
mode
ly for two-pocket models)
This mode specifies whether or not to use Pocket ejection or Processing continuance
depending on the conditions set before scanning starts.
This allows the application to operate at high speed as it does not need to specify
operations for the next document for each scan. These conditions can be judged by the
host computer (processing in the driver) or by the firmware.
This mode specifies whether or not to use Pocket ejection or Processing continuance
depending on the instructions from the application. If there are no instructions from the
application, operations can also be performed by using the settings made beforehand.

Judged by F/WSince operations can be performed with judgment by the firmware,
without judgment by the host computer, operations can be
performed at a high speed.
However, back feeding occurs when ejecting the document into the
sub pocket for two-pocket models. Therefore, the speed decreases
when the number of sub pocket ejections increases.
Judged by DriverPerformance declines when the conditions need to be judged by
the driver.
Judged by
Application
When conditions for scanned images, MICR text strings, and so on
are judged by the application, since the product waits for
instructions from the application, the processing speed changes for
each scan as the application returns instructions to the driver.
Furthermore, performance changes depending on whether or not
to overlap the next document upon instructions from the
applications.

Since the paper sensors use a reflective photo sensor, do not use paper that has holes,
translucency, or areas whose reflection ratio is less than 40% in the area shown in the
figure below.
Do not insert paper that has clips, staples, or other objects. Doing so may cause a paper
